"Ardet et Audet" (Burns and dares)

Motto of the 8th Regiment d'Infanterie de Montagne.

"You
think they have been placed in that freezing hell because they are the
only elite troops able to endure it? No...truth is they have been sent
so far because that is where they can cause the least problems

The
Merovingian's Mountain Infantry units are integrally based around
veterans, experienced soldiers serving a second service. This is because
a developed combat instinct is an indispensable requirement to survive
the frozen torment which is being posted to the Analogue Mountains,
where the environment and climate are as dangerous as the worst
adversaries you could find anywhere on planet Dawn. However, the reason
for the presence of these troops amongst the Analogue peaks isn't
climatology. They haven't been placed there to rescue injured alpinists
either. Briscards protect the eastern border of Merovingia against enemy
raids. Ancestral home of Antipode warrior clans like the Ice Fangs and
the White Knives, considered the most aggressive and dangerous of this
savage race, the Analogue Mountains are full of caves, tunnels and
mountain passages, appearing and disappearing with the constant
avalanches and micro-quakes.

At first, the main mission of
Briscards was to contain, expel and exterminate the raiding waves of
those Antipode clans. However, since the Ariadnan Commercial Conflicts,
they have also had to deal with special operations teams of the Sphere's
great powers trying to infiltrate Ariadnan territory on espionage
missions They have also tangled with mercenary groups serving mega
corporations in the search for valuable Teseum and, more recently, with
technified units of [Classified: Insufficient Security Level] origin.

Anyhow,
none of this worries the Briscards at all. Their operational profile is
not like that of any other special unit, who normally specialize in
stealth, vigilance and surgical operations. Briscards are not a scalpel,
but a hammer. Their standard mission is Search and Destroy; to locate
the enemy and eliminate it, so simple and direct, without unnecessary
subtlety. To get there fast and hit it hard, that's what is expected
from the members of the Force de Reponse Rapide Merovingienne. Those
obviously aren't missions for ordinary soldiers, that's why the regiment
is just based on veteran troops; soldiers who have reenlisted after
serving their stipulated service. It's indispensable to be very
motivated to accept this assignment. Briscards are those who, after
having been demobbed, are not capable of readjusting to civilian life,
which they consider a living purgatory for a man of action. These
veterans come back to the Army because it is probably the only thing
they can do now, the only thing that satisfies them. It is the
opportunity to feel again the combat adrenaline which compensates for
the harshness of this assignment. Physical toughness is developed due to
climate conditions, but psychological fortitude also strengthens as the
regiment lives in a perpetual state of orange alert; prepared for any
emergency, knowing it has been deployed to an isolated spot on the map
without any direct support. However, as far as they may be from home,
and even if they have to sometimes fight just for the honor of their
banner, the Briscards are always resolute in battle, symbolizing the
true spirit of the experienced Merovingian soldier.
